Playstation 3 – Use Remote Play on any Windows 7 PC (2014 update)

This recipe is for the Playstation3 / PS3 users out there that want to utilize the Remote Play features on their PS3. Normally, Sony allows Vaio branded laptops the ability to connect to the PS3 via Remote Play. With the help of 2 patched files from PSDevWiki, we can use the Remote Play software on any PC that has a wireless network adapter. (updated 4/3/2014)

Credit toNTAuthority for the patch old, non-working patch and PSDevWiki devs for the new patch. PS3 firmware 3.30+ is required.

Requirements:

–Playstation 3 (original or Slim) with firmware 3.30 or higher (tested on latest as of 4/4/2014)
–PC/Laptop running Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32bit/64bit) and WiFi adapter-Full administrator rights with Windows user account on PC/Laptop
-Both devices on same network

2. Run the installer file EP0000248680.exe and once it finishes, click on Finish.

3. Extract the patched rar files using 7zip (free and excellent!) or whatever app you may have. We now will need to copy these files to the Remote Play’s Program Files folder (32-bit OS: c:\program files\sony\remote play with playstation 3\ or 64-bit OS: C:\program files (x86)\sony\remote play with playstation 3\). If asked for administration permissions, click on Continue (ie Windows 8 computers).

4. Finally, we can now launch the Remote Play by using the patched exe file we copied: rmp_launcher.exe . This will launch the Remote Play software and in turn the initial pairing wizard.

We will want to make a shortcut to the rmp_launcher.exe since we need to run this launcher each time we use Remote Play to bypass the Vaio hardware check Sony put into the Remote Play software. Just right-click on the rmp_launcher.exe file and then choose Send To > Desktop. This put a shortcut right on our Desktop that we can in turn rename and even change the icon for. I personally move it into the C:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs folder so that way it is available to all user accounts via the Start Mene.

I also remove the shortcut that the installer creates since it launches VRP.exe directly and will give you this error.

If you’re using a desktop with a wired network connection, you will need an external wireless adapter connected to initially pair. However once you have paired your PS3 and Desktop PC; you won’t need the adapter again.

5. Go through the setup wizard. You will want to have your PS3 and PC on the same network for this initial pairing. On your PS3, go to Settings > Remote Play > Register Device to start pairing.

6. Hopefully once your done with the wizard, you should be connected to your PS3!

–Some are probably wondering, “What is Remote Play?” Remote play lets you access your PS3’s XMB and certain content remotely. It was initially used w/PSPs but has been expanded to work with specific Sony Ericsson phones and Sony Vaio laptops. More detailed info can be found over at the official Playstation site.

–When exiting the Remote Play application on your PC, you can choose to Power Off the PS3 or Leave it in Remote Play mode. You can also change settings on the PS3 to allow it to wake from Standby when Remote Play is started. Remote play does use port 9293; you may need to forward this port on your router and open it up in your firewall.

Use Remote Play on any non-Sony Vaio windows vista? is it probability

Peter Barwick

I have followed all the steps, get the screen asking to name the device, which I do, then get screen to enter the Register Device Code from the PS3, and after I enter it and continue to next step the screen where it obviously tries to register freezes and then a popup comes up asking “debug program” or “close” cause its not responding. Has anyone else gotten this problem and got a fix for it? I have 32 bit windows 7

I get an error code: 0x80070005. I also had to Omit the Quotation marks to get it to work:cd %programfiles(x86)%SonyRemote Play with PlayStation 3. Got to the Dir Okay that way. The Error Code Reads as:”The module “vrpsdk.dll” was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

Michele Dorian Stretti

To solve the 0x800… error you have to run as admininstrator the command shell:
open the start menu, quick search cmd.exe, right click on it and select run as adminstror. 😉

you may have to run the command prompt as an admin

to do this go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories, right click Command Prompt and “Run as Administrator”

Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files

The specify module could not be found.

I put the space. vrpsdk.dll was successful but vrmapping.dll not working. 🙁

Matthew Roberts

I get the error “the program can’t start bcause d3dx9_42.dll is missing from ur computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem”. I have windows ultimate7.

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

i think you may need some directx runtime files. does running the app as an adminstrator help at all? have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling app?

Mikespike_1003

sorry i tried that but it also still gives me the message: d3dx9_42.dll is missing from ur computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem”. I have windows ultimate7.

While it is pairing with my ps3 it says that there was a connection problem while pairing….How do i fix this? some help would be much appreciated!

Someone

u have to type in cd C:Program Files (x86)SonyRemote Play with PlayStation 3
for 64 bit.thats how i got mine working

jose

do u have to type it in can u paste it copy paste i got it to work once but cant remember >

Pdfmusicscore

is it possible to use the sixaxis controller during the remote play, like in the open remote play version 1.2 before

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

not at the moment, its very limited to what you can do and at this point is just for show more than anything.

no games are playable over remote play; only local ps3 videos, music, photos, friends, psn store are accessible. cool idea but not much use at moment.

Aguy

Hi guys!

I also use Windows 7 and had the same error: “the program can’t start bcause d3dx9_42.dll is missing from ur computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem”.

Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

i had to get the directx runtimes from microsoft and then once i did that was good to go. have you tried that?

kyle

> I typed in code in search engine and its a 3d driver i downloaded

Phil

Bit a slightly more complicated problem here. Followed the readme and checked these steps, all done to the letter. Works fine, except when I try to register it, I input the registration number from my PS3, and the instant it starts to register, W7 says it crashed. I’ve tried to run it as an admin, and also changed its priorities in the Task Manager. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

audcar

I have instaled the program and i fixed the dll but when im trying to connect with my playstation the program is frezzed and search for an answer

f_kay

Same Problem over here. I also disconnected the internet and he tries to connect to the ps3 network. It doesnt crash but i get another error that the ps3 isnt found.
Can somebody tell us why it isnt working? Some of the 64bit users posted that its workin on their systems – so is there a problem with my network?

Aguy

Thanks Seamonkey420!

I will download it. It seems it is DirextX end-user Runtime on Microsoft http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u… (used your link from 3 weeks ago) I would let know if it wordks. Already thanks!

audcar

I clicked on this link but there isnt’n anyrhing can you send me a link where i can download it directly plz ?

I did everything exactly as shown, and keep getting the error message “this software cannot be used on your computer” any suggestions?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1304415611 Terrill Joe Vibbard

Did you follow step 3 under the 64bit version where you replace the dll’s with the patched versions? You have to do that or else you won’t be able to run it because the program thinks its installed on a Sony Vaio computer… Hence the patch.

http://www.facebook.com/jjones0377 James Jones

All works well, patching and all. during registration, its closes the program, with option to “SEND ERROR” or “CLOSE PROGRAM”. Other than all that, it works. If im not on same network, it works up to point of registration, and says it cant find the PS3 (obviously because its on different network). so its just a problem once it connects to the PS3 to register. Anyone have any ideas?

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

what version of windows are you running? also 32bit or 64bit? let us know 🙂

charlie

> i hav same prob and i am windows 7 home p and 64bit

Kelli Gottardo

when i try to run playstation remot play i get
This application has failed to start because d3d10_1.dll was not found.
any advise?

I’m with the others who’s registration fails. It occurs after hitting next once I’ve entered in the 8 digit number. First i get a message that it’s registering to the Playstation 3 system and then that message dims. I then receive a message that says that the program has stopped working. I’m using windows 7 Home Premium. Please Help 🙂

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

question number 1: is this on a laptop or desktop? if a desktop, do you have a usb wifi card or adapter plugged in during registration?

you do need a wifi card for it to try to register 🙂

Bludgeonesis

Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. 🙂

Have managed to get the PSP up and running with remote play, but this PC thing is killing me!

It is a Toshiba A500 satellite laptop. I’m assuming if it can access the internet via my wireless router that it has an inbuilt wifi card yeah?

While experimenting and turning wifi off on my laptop, instead of it crashing when trying to register, it brings up another message saying “device registration failed” with a bunch of possible reasons for it.

Once you turn on the” register PC” on the PS3, a wireless connection appears in my available connections window. I’ve even tried having my laptop connected to this but it asks me for a security key. I found this online but that doesn’t help either.

Any ideas?

It does seem like it is something to do with the home connection as the registration does not crash when i turn the wifi off on my laptop.

Hope i made some sort of sense.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Regards

Jackson

I’ve got the same laptop has this guy.
Toshiba A500.
Exact same problem.
I can remote play my PSP, yet my LAPTOP cannot be registered.
:/
Strange.

Jackson

I also tried manually connecting to the PS3regpc access point, and tried registering once connected, yet it didn’t work.
For those of you out there. The WPA / Passkey to the PS3regpc access point is:
RvnpNXP}xS5qOWfj77guV}0lPAS37hzONG7ZHMNBAwM0mKjt1mkUhHjdbyF

Jackson

Okay, now I connected to the PS3regpc access point before starting the remote play. Then I go into remote play, and it seems that it finds the PS3 and connects, but then when it seems to be registering, it just stops and gives me a:
Program has stopped working error.

I just tried registering using the PS3regpc like you did but it does exactly the same as when I’m try registering using the home connection.

Jackson

I just can’t find anyway to register my PS3.
If you do figure out a way, please post it here so that I may know.

Bludgeonesis

Will do. I’m waiting to hear back from seamonkey to see if has any more bright ideas.

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

wassup everyone

sorry about the late replies, i’m going to redo my setup on my newly rebuilt win7 x64 desktop. i’ll even do it without a wireless adapter plugged in and post back any probs/errors and possible solutions to your probs 🙂

Umar Kaleem

Hello. I have to same problem. Everything works fine but then when I enter the 8 digit number, the program stopped working. Its annoying!

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

i wonder if you need to perhaps try to using a wired connection to your router from your laptop. i just redid my setup on my desktop pc without a wifi card and it worked without a hitch. here’s a link to my full screencast of me doing the reinstall w/some notes even 🙂

thanks for the amazing effort you have gone to. I did everything you did but I’m having the same prob.

the only thing that is different for me is when i install remote play i dont get the directx update section. I used the link at the top of the page for the sony download. So i used one of the above links to update my directx “http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en” and downloaded the file and it looked to update directx for me. having said that this version did not have the xna logo at the bottom and i also dont think it said software development kit either.

i honestly think it may be. one thing to try again would be to fully uninstall the remote play software, delete the “C:Program Files (x86)SonyRemote Play with PlayStation 3” folder. Reboot your pc, try to reinstall again using this remote play client: http://www.ps3-hacks.com/file/80

honestly not sure where to go after this 🙁 may be some runtime
s got messed up on your laptop too. i’d def try that installer link i included.

Bludgeonesis

I just noticed in the folder you open at the start of the youtube video that you have some other files in there. One of them is a hex editor.

Is this something i should have also?

Downloaded the sony install again from the link you provided and the directx update section did not open…………

do you have any antivirus or firewall apps running? i would try disabling them temporarily while you try to run the remoteplay app.

Bludgeonesis

Thanks again for your input seamonkey.

Tried the above things and still no luck.

Have been on so many forums and there are more people having the same problem as me than there are people actually enjoying remote play on their PC.

It’s not a 32bit/64bit issue, it’s not a firewall issue or a brand issue, I just wish I knew more about computers.

What i find strange is that when the PC and PS3 are on the same network and an I attempt to register, it crashes almost immediately. Take them off of the same network and it doesn’t crash, but then obviously i cant register at all.

Something between the PC and PS3 is clashing somewhere, as it is for hundreds of other people.

One thing I have noticed when testing the connection on PS3, uPnP comes up as not available even though it is turnd on on my router. Am i supposed to have a port open maybe? If so do we know what number it is?

Clutching at straws…………….

.

Bludgeonesis

Can someone who has it working do an connection test on their ps3 to see if uPnP comes up as not available also?

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

mine does, my router does not do uPnP but remoteplay works fine for me 😉

remote play works off port: 9293

Jackson

One question mate.
Are you running Official Sony Firmware, or are you running CFW?
Custom Firmware?

Jackson

I’ll be following this also, as I have the exact same laptop with the same problem.

Bludgeonesis

No custom firmware. I’m running V3.56

Jake

Word of advice here: this all is a waste of time. Why?

. Can’t play ANY games (PS3 or PS1, not sure about other Playstation store non PS1 games tho)
. Can’t use Netflix
. Video streaming sucks
. Haven’t tried audio streaming, but I’m guessing it sucks too
. Not 100% sure about this, but I think I read somewhere that you can’t play Blu Rays
. The only use I could possibly think of is (I read someone on another site mentioning this as a somewhat legit use) is hooking a PS Eye up and monitoring your home with it. Even this seems somewhat unnecessary, and like something that no one would use

I spent over an hour trying to get remote play to work on my laptop, like the stubborn sob i am. Waste of over an hour of my life if you ask me.

Jackson

If your PS3 has CFW, you can just edit the SFO file, and just enable remote play on it. Just backup the games you want to play, then edit their SFO file to enable remote play.
🙂
Just google or youtube how to install CFW on PS3 kmuew

Jake

I have read the cfw stuff, and I thought I read that you could only do remote play on your computer if had previously registered a PSP with the PS3 system you want your PC to remote to. Please tell me I read wrong, or that newer cfw allows you play games on your PC…

Jackson

Nope.
CFW is just like the normal FW from Sony.
So if you install CFW onto your PS3, you should be able to do this tutorial right here.

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

yup! 🙂 i do it with my ps3 phat that has cfw at the moment.

Emanuel Jones

um i need help i opened the program as an administrator but when i try the second command vrmapping it doesnt work do u know how to fix it its just like qaqas problem

Dwight1379

Loaded software no issue, But when running first time program stops working when it’s searching for PS3. and I get a close program message box.

I tried to register my PS3 but after I click Next after input 8 numbers, it shows “Searching” (or something like that) and doesn’t change from that. I am using Windows 7 in VirtualBox, PC and PS3 wireless to same router. I tried already to connect pc to router with ethernet but didn’t work. May you help me?

Nah

It worked first go around for me. It’s great!

Bludgeonesis

Rub it in!! 🙂

Any chance you could check your connection in your PS3 to see if your uPnP says not available or something else.

Would enable me to cross anohter thing off of the list.

http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/jimmyselix jimmyselix

My PS3 does not use nPnP since i have an Airport Extreme Base and it does not do uPnP. HOWEVER, i did open up the remote play ports: 9293

Im Getting an “could not start the injected process” error any idea how to fix this??

Matthew

I’m getting the same error! did you ever find a fix for it???

Sidewalkah

“Remore Play with PlayStation 3 could not be launched because an unexpected error occurred.(0x8004a003)… any ideas what could be wrong?

http://www.facebook.com/Nox13last Noxedwin Tepes

I can’t help but notice that nobody has replied to posts concerning “It crashes on ‘registering PS3′” other than “Me too”. Can we get some USEFUL advice on what to do when it does that?
I don’t think it matters whether or not there is a laptop involved. We’re using Windows 7 (and the people who aren’t are idiots because it says ‘Windows 7’ in the page title).
I have had this problem. I am using WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (on PC if you STILL care). I’ve registered the dlls as instructed, and replaced the files as instructed, and I’m using a wireless dongle, and it still gives buttkiss.
How about some sage advice?

i had the same problem but if u look at some of the q/a’s at the top youll find u just need run cmd prompt as administrator

Bludgeonesis

I have tried every recommendation given to me and still nothing. (many thanks seamonkey)

Someone must have some clue as to why when you enter in the number given by the PS3 during registration it crashes. Enter in any other 8 digit number other than the reg. code and it does not crash but then gives a message that it can’t register.

I’m almost at the point where I want to reformat my comp to 32 bit just to see if that works. More people seem to be getting it to work on 32 bit. Having said that I have read a post where someone got it working using 64 bit.

ARGHHHHHHHH!

azshadiian

i have it all installed but the window is completely white there is no text

Bludgeonesis

try adjusting your screen res.

Fringle

the crash when registering I belive has something to do with the version of mscrv80.dll. When it crashes the file listed is from visual c++ 2005 sp1 runtime. If we can somehow maybe replace it with the non sp1 file or remove it all together it may help but I dunno.

To the people that got it to work, do you have a directx 10 video card?

Bigacerc

ok i did everthing just like it says but when i go to tape in the register code it pops up remote play has stoped work what do i do

Umar Kaleem

Hello.

I get the same but problem not solved yet.

If you do solve the problem, please let me know a.s.a.p or e-mail me on [email protected]

Thanks

browner08

i have followed everything and have got to the registration stage and have the same problem as some of the above that it crashes when i try to pair the device.
i’m not very technical person and after reading you’re replys i got myself confuzed and was wondering if you could simplify it for me 🙂
many thanks

jakkek750i

i also have your problem i think it’s patched (with ps3 3.0+ firmware) are you using W7 64-bit? laptop or desktop pc ?

iiirwin

” 3. Download and extract the NTAuthority Patch files. You should have 4 files including the readme. We will copy these files to this location, overwriting the files. Again this will vary depending on if your running 32bit or 64bit.

I’m confused after this step. I extracted the file but only boxes shows up and no text. What do I do from here?

hayward

i had the same problem wat do we do

any answers

Taylorgoddard34

every time i run remote play on my windows7 pc i get to to the part where u put the 8 diget code and it says a problem occured and it turns grey cuz of and error idk wat the hell is a matter

Daryl W

I also have this problem of the program crashing when i put my 8 digit code in, any help with would be good

LIUM

ARRGH i keep getting the same problem

Stevenfwinsett

Okay look, I rarely see this problem, but It’s a big deal to me, becuase I cant get past this point. I get the Error message “This Software Cannot be used on your computer” when trying to open PS3 Remote Play, and I’ve done all the steps….help please!

Daryl W

This problem with the program crashing after the 8 digit code is entered is hardware related not software, I tried 32 bit windows 7 and 64 bit on the same machine both failed to connect to the ps3, tried the same program on another machine with windows 7 worked first time?
So until another version comes out iam going to have wait?

John

For those having the vrpsdk.dll error, try to run as administrator. Right click cmd and run as adminstrator. For me it worked

Henrymyles

i did everything except the last bit i launch the remote play thing tht works but it doesnt show anyword its just blank what do i do then and when it get to the code bit it closes and it say the program is not responding

Ladymax24

make sure your ps3 supports wireless

Tfcrazyman

Thank everyone for your help this solved all my issues but one. Cany you help. When I enter the code off my ps3 to the pc and click next the program keeps saying “program not responding” and closes any suggestins.

David

My issue is only when trying to access remote play when I am in a separate location from my ps3. I’m using a sony vaio and can connect using remote play just fine when I am at home next to my ps3 but when I go to somebody else’s house and try to connect, I always get a timed out error. For, “Remote play does use port 9293; you may need to forward this port on your router and open it up in your firewall.” How do you do that last part?

Prettyrickky

when i start it up the page is blank

Dalin

i have done everything on the steps. but once i get to the extract part i have an error that says that it could not create the files needed.

cesar

dude i have the same problem right now did u fix it??if u did how u did it?

jose palacios

And windows vista?????????????

http://tech-recipes.com jimmy selix

@Jimofu I have not tested this on Vista but theoretically it should work since Vista and Win7 are very similar OS.

compatibility mode or launching as administrator doesnt help.
I even formated my PC and reinstalled Windows (7 Professional x64)

So annoying 🙁

Khan

Thanx a gazzilion for all the help everyone…everyone worked out just fine for me so far…the only issue i now have is that when i enter the 8-digit code generated by the PS3 on my PC (windows 7-32bit) and it tries to register, the program goes white and then crashes….i always get the same error saying ” a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” i have not been notified with any solution…

I’d be obliged and elated if anyone could provide a workable solution…suggestions please…..

shin

I DID THE SAME, AND IT CONTINUALLY SHOWS “THIS SOFTWARE CANNOT BE USED ON THIS COMPUTER.”

PLEASE LET ME OUT HERE ASAP! I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

http://alphabit.co.nz Audiosmith

Make sure command prompt is running as Administrator!

ShadeX

I’m having the same problem many other people are having. I’m using Windows 7 (32-bit) and everytime it asks me for the 8 digit code and I press “Next” the program crashes.

Also, when my PS3 isn’t in Device Registration standby and I enter a random 8 digit number, the program doesn’t crash but it says “Device Registration Failed” like it should.
But when my PS3 IS is Device Registration standby and I enter a random 8 digit number, it crashes again.

So it doesn’t matter if the number is right or wrong, if the PS3 is in standby, the program crashes.
I hope someone finds a solution to this problem.

http://tech-recipes.com jimmy selix

@ShadeX

let me try redoing this installation again on another 32bit Windows 7 machine i have tonight. i’ll see if perhaps i need to make an update to this guide.

what model PS3 do you have? a slim or the original phat models? Also, what version of WIndows 7, Home premium/ultimate/professional?

Thanks!

Jimmy Selix

@ShadeX

AHH!! i think i know what it is. my bad on this one. i believe you need to copy the patch files prior to running the regsvr32 commands. so basically steps 2 and step 3 should be swapped around. i am updating this article this weekend to correct that. sorry all about that.

i just re-did the setup on my 64bit desktop computer and it worked right away copying the dll and exe patch files first adn then registering the dlls via command line.

PC

@jimmy

thanks for the post
I tried swapping steps 2 and 3, it still hangs while it tries to register with PS3.

I have windows 7 64bit.
– antivirus was disabled during configuration
– ports were open for this app.
– In the windows event-viewer I see this error:

wait a second everyone having issues. Do you have a Wireless adapter connected? If not, the registration pieces will fail. My desktop has a usb wifi 802.11n adapter i use to get online with and is a requirement for registering your PC to the PS3. let me know!

i’ve been able to redo this hack/mod everytime i redo my desktop pc’s os and setup (usually about every 3-4 months)

PC

@Jimmy

Yes, I am installing it on a laptop with a builtin wireless adapter.

If it is something to do with C:\Windows\System32\MSVCR80.dll , lets compare this file on your PC with mine.

Hello friends! I wonder so I did everything I said in the tutorial, but when I open the program, the program can not start missing pq D3DX9_42.DLL NOO your computer, try reinstalling the program to solve this problem. I saw good in SOME comments
to install directx9, when I’m doing this, is it possible that DPS will open to install it? help please thank you, send me emails, evandro.shirec @ hotmail.com I am Brazilian, I speak English vlw required

brendon austin

Hi there,when you say open command prompt and type in the following you will get a registering message,,i dont seem to get anything like that after i hit enter

brendon austin

Ok so ive sorted all up to the registering of the ps3,,
Obviously it isnt working as all the other comments.

Is it possible that it wont register because i have updated the firware to 3.70..
I have read that the playstation has to have the firmware 3.55 in order for things like a hack to work.

If this is the case is there somewhere i can get the downgrade for 3.55 firmware.

Everywhere i find a dload the file has been removed because it is copyrighted.

Excuse the ignorance but im fairly new to the whole patching and cracking stuff..

Please help

Jimmy Selix

@brendon austin

i’m on the latest 3.70 firmware and just re-did this on my rebuilt Windows 7 Professional Edition (64-bit). I am in the USA using a US PS3.

i used the same files and links i posted in the guide and even have done this on my macbook pro, macbook air via bootcamp or vmware fusion.

how do you have your PS3 connected to the internet and are you on the same network as your PC/Laptop?

brendon austin

The ps3 is connected to a wireless router Thomson TG782T,,no cable going to the ps3..

The ps3 connects and signs in after turning it on so there is deffinetly a connection there..

I think it might be a setting in the router or on my network settings,,however i am no good with changing settings,unless its fully explained to me.

So unsure if they are on the same network,any help to pair these up would be much appreciated,,after looking it seems alot of people are having this same problem so it could possibly be the easy fix everyones looking for..

brendon austin

I forgot to mention i have a toshiba N723 laptop if that helps,,do i need to purchase one of those usb wifi 802.11n adapters or is that only for a wired desktop

Dentok

I tried the directions exactly, but I got the same problem. I clicked on debug and then noticed that faulting module is MSVCR80.dll. (Latest version of Direct X already installed)

I had no MSVCR80.dll anywhere in my PC, which is Win7x64 installed.

Then, I installed Visual Studio 2005, then I searched and found 11 msvcr80.dll files under winsxs folder. Their sizes are 612K, 617K, 778K, 783K, 803K.

I still get freeze after entering the registration number, and when I debug I still get the same MSVCR80.dll error message.

PC

@Jimmy , Dentok

After MSVCR80.dll issues in windows 7, I tried it on windows Vista ultimate 64bit SP2 with platform update on a Vmware with USER32.dll -> ASER32.dll workaround.

It worked in first attempt.

May be windows 7 64 bit home edition is not compatible with this patch.
PS3 firmware version does not matter and I did not have to install anything extra in Vista. Vista and windows 7 already have .net framework 3.5 or higher and directx 10 or higher, out of box.

I searched everywhere on internet, nobody is able to crack this MSVCR80.dll issue in win 7 so far. May be a .Net developer or patch developer understand it better.

shorty

mine said path not found

kevish

worked like a charm!!! thanks a million guys!

RudeBoy129

getting the same issue alot above are getting. Once in the regstration process the windows white out and say “REMOTE PLAY WITH [email protected] HAS STOPPED WORKING” …….anyone know how to fix this issue?

ROCK2310

I’m running win7 64bit and everything registered in cmd but when i go to remote play with ps3 to register the devices it says THIS SOFTWARE CANNOT BE USED ON YOUR COMPUTER… i have downloaded directx still didnt fix the prob… help please

GreaseMonkey-93

im in the same boat as ROCK2310, win 7 64 bit and i keep getting the “This software can not be used on your computer.” message. I went step by step with the whole process and it keeps saying i cant use it

jay-hay

Same problem as above Windows 7 64 bit!!

Advaithk

I have a Toshiba A300 laptop running Windows 7 ULTIMATE 32-bit. After i enter the 8 digit code at the registration screen…. It searches for it and then when it starts to register to the PS3, a windows saying “Remote Play with Playstation 3 has stopped working” and i have to close the program.

I have a PHAT 60GB CECH-A PS3 running 3.55 kmeaw CFW.

lloyd parks

The crashing after typing in the numbers…something to do with pairing. because it doesn’t crash when u hit next without typing in the code.

win 7/ 64 bit

marcus

uh it starts upand everything but when i type in the 8 numbers and press enter it says it will take about a minute to connect and then another window pops up saying the remote play has stopped working

jimmyselix

hello all. i’ll be honest in that i am not sure why it freezes when it registers. i’ve redone this setup countless times on my windows 7 32bit and 64bit desktop without issues. i’ve done the mod/hack on my older HP laptop back when i had it, on my macbook air in vmware and on my lenovo thinkpad tablet x220. the only problem i have ran into is having to install the directx runtimes. is everyone in the USA using a USA PS3?

Harry

It keeps comming up with This Software Cannot Be Used On Your Computer
Please help :'(

Jimmy Selix

re:Harry

need more details my man.. what OS? windows 7? 32bit or 64bit?

chrissy

This is BULLCRAP. it barely works when you try. fake…

robert5377

i followed the instructions the first time and it worked for me on windows 7 ultimate 64 thanks

I did this successfully on a custom built 64 bit pc and a 32bit dell laptop while following instructions, after I finished my build I had installed win 7 home premium 64bit and this was the first program I installed and it worked right off (I used patches). I was also able to get it to work on Linux Debian 32bit on my laptop on my first try, you guys must be doing something worng because it worked just fine for me

Dan

When I click Remote Play after I went through all of the steps, an error message pops up and says “This software cannot be used on your computer.” Help?

Manish

Hi, i am using a toshiba statellite laptop with inbuilt card, got it installed in first go as have win 7ultimate(32bit) and when tries to register PS3 application crashes. so if there is any update on this part please post.

dappa

what if i have a sony laptop will the remote play work without the hack??

dappa

stupid question…ignore me :-\

dappa

actually i wanna play FROM the VIAO to the ps3, is this possible??

llFike

Okay folks did the steps straights and it worked perfectly and I will give tips for those who are having trouble with this, ready? bora
First it is easy you put the four files in the remote play playstatation 3 after the command line if it gives any errors make sure that you started the CMD as administrator, then gives error d3dx9_42.dll download here. Dll and resolve the problem after:http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_42
This done! enjoy playing at your PC’m from Brazil and my english is not it so these things blame google translate

anuj421

http://www.donthave1.com Demian

I keep getting an error code “The procedure entry point GetGestureInfo could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll .”

I have no idea where to start Ive been at this for hours If someone could point me in the right direction thank you!

Matt

Ok. I have a HP Pavilion dv6 and I installed the patch but when I open it, it says, “The program can’t start because d3dx9_42.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.” I have reinstalled, same error. Any help?

any reason why it cant work on my laptop did everything had no problems but when i went to use the remote play it said it could’t from my computer???? not a big deal but would like to know if there is a quick fix for this issue. thx

Hanzi

Drue Overite Vrp Files and replace that’s what i did and i Worked YES!

Jim

I installed this on my VIO and it worked perfect right off the bat. HOWEVER, like it was mentioned at the top of this thread, you can’t do anything with it…..I tried four games, and everytime it gives a message that this isn’t possible to play…So, why go to all this work for nothing???

josh

hey yea umm i just tried to do this looked at all this crap u have to do to even get it close to workin. lol ima just wait.. yall should do the same. if it dont come from sony den i aint fu%$I8N with it..

josh

Scampz

If you have the registering dll failed problem close cmd and run it again as administrator.

i type in cmd.exe and type in SonyRemote Play with PlayStation 3
for 64 bit and it still says is not recognized as a command

jose

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3 i type that in cmd.exe it says it is not recognized as a command

mohammed

Ayrton

Well i have trouble with the cmd part.. i use the command above, cd”%programfiles%\Sony\Remote Play with Playstation 3″ however it tells me that the name or the syntax is was is incorrect … so since my computer is in spanish i try writting cd”%archivosdeprograma%\Sony\Remote Play with Playstation 3″ and it tells me that the sistem can’t find the specified route. what do i do?

Taza

OK make a space between CD and % and take out all the ”

Just cut and paste from the site taking out the ” very easy>

Taza

OK as stated earlier I also have the issue once I enter my 8 digit number it closes. This is on my HP dv7 running win 7 64bit laptop

Now the weird thing is I did same thing on my desktop and it assigned . Tho it never connected just sat there connecting. I know it connects because PS3 says connecting to device. In this scenario the PC and PS3 are hard wired to my belkin n600db. PC running win 7 ultimate amit edition.

Will try my laptop hard wired tomorrow and see if it works

Taza

Andrew

I have a problem, I enter in the number that my PS3 gives me and then it says “A problem caused the program to stop working” and it crashes. How do I fix this.

Thanks,

Jack

I’m having the problem where the program crashes right after I input the 8-digit key and press ‘Next.’

Has ANYONE found a solution yet? I need this to work! 🙁

Tonza

I got the same error so how can i fix it?

Lord Lolland

It works perfectly… Only one problem; It is all pixilated, like im viewing it on a really low res screen (my screen is 1680×1050).

Pete

What PS3 Firmware version are you on and what PC or laptop are you using? So many people can’t get this to work and I include myself in this. If people can say what this works on it will help others to work out what the problems are.

In terms of your poor resolution problem the resolution is poor on a PSP and PS Vita using remote play and so I wouldn’t expect it to look good on a larger screen>

windows support

just what I needed thanks…

khaled

i have the same problem with my win 7 (64 bit)

Muunia

I tried installing it and when i go to run it, it says, “Remote Play with PlayStation3 cannot be used in this screen mode. Remote PLay with Playstation3 will quit.”

Anyone else experience this?

Screen mode

Change your computer resolution if you get “Remote Play with PlayStation3 cannot be used in this screen mode. Remote PLay with Playstation3 will quit.”

1920 x 1080 work. I think it only work with ‘widescreen’ type resolution.

Tav

For anyone experiencing the 0x80070005 error, try the following:

a) Click on the Start button
b) In the Start Search box type ‘cmd’
c) Right click on the search result and select ‘Run as Administrator’
d) type: cd %programfiles(x86)%\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3 (without exclamations)
e) Try re-registering the dll file and check what happens.

got everything but when i actually go to connect it basically just crashes everytime i don’t know what to do any help

Then i wanted to reisntall it but i can’t becuase it says that i have remote play already installed ut i can’t find anything anymore from remote play on my pc so how do i fix this problem?

Thomas Giboney

You’ll need to scour the registry and remove all instances of Remote Play… might could use the search word ‘Sony’ to find them all.

when i try to run rmp_launcher.EXE nothing happens. i extracted the two files to my desktop and copied them into the remote play with playstation folder and it does nothing when i try to run the program

devinlewis

nevermind, im done and got that sorted out i just forgot to startup the ps3… haha, but now the remote play app wont connect to my ps3. i have the ps3 in remote play mode, but the pc keeps saying the process has stopped because the pc has been disconnected from the network, my internet is fine, so it souldnt be that, is there something im missing?

Dha’llek Niccals

Is both your PS3 and laptop/PC connected to the same network? Something wrong with your router? I’m not much of an expert either, but I’m just trying to help 🙂
